Following the recent launch of the Department of Education’s app on the Safer Schools
platform, provided by iNEQE Safeguarding Group on a trial basis during this COVID-19
crisis, the Education Minister, Mr Peter Weir, has launched the children & young people’s version of this app.
The app, downloaded on either the App Store or Google Play, can be accessed by children
& young people at both primary and post primary level – please note the post primary app
has been split into 3 versions depending on the age of the young person to ensure the
content is relevant to them. I would also encourage those staff members and parents who
have not yet downloaded their version of the app to do so as the support provided,
particularly during this difficult Covid-19 period, is invaluable.
